Hello, International Students!
Summer is well and truly here, and before you know it - the new school semester will be upon us! But, before that we have some fun for you - a brand new feature for the newsletter called "Ask an International Student Advisor", which gives you the chance to ask questions to a student advisor.We also have some fun contests and give-aways, starting with our Photo Contest (going on now!) and through our social media channels, we are giving away iTunes and Starbucks giftcards - so be sure to fan, follow and circle us!Ross Mason Editor, InternationalStudent.com
On a daily basis we receive
emails, Facebook messages and Twitter questions from international
students from all corners of the world who are looking for help and
answers to their questions. Topics range from things like entry
requirements at a particular school, to financial aid, to visa and
immigration questions. We want to provide the best service possible,
and to help students even more we have launched our new feature
"Ask
an International Student Advisor"
Each month, we will select an international student advisor from
schools around the USA and allow you to post questions directly
to them through our site and Facebook. We will curate these
questions and then have our advisor answer them and they will be
featured in our next newsletter, online and through all our
social media channels.

Student fans, friends, and friends of friends are cordially invited
to participate in our International Student Photo Contest going on
during the month of July for a chance to not only get their picture
published on InternationalStudent.com - a site reaching millions of
visitors each year - but also to take home a generous prize.
To be eligible to win the picture should reflect a person in
their academic environment (this can be on campus, a student
sightseeing in their new city, a picture of you at your
summer internship location, or anything else creative that
has at least some correlation to your college or university
education) and the quality of the photo should be as
professional and high resolution as possible and there
should be no processing (no filters) applied.
Announced earlier this month by the Australian
Department of Immigration and Citizenship, there will be new
Visa prices that will be coming into effect on July 1st, which the
government says will bring their prices in line with other countries
around the world. Some of the main changes are the introduction of a
"per-person" charge for families, so each member will be
required to submit an application fee and an $80 AUD fee for those
who wish to submit paper application compared to online forms.
One of the main changes that has upset many international
educators in Australia however is the introduction of a $700 AUD
fee in addition to the standard visa processing fee for any
applicant who wishes to renew or extend their visa while
currently in Australia. With the troubled past for international
students in Australia, these new increases could cause further
trouble for students looking to study there.
With schools increasingly looking to bring
in more international students, and also increase their funding (as
international students typically pay more) it is no surprise that
schools are also starting to offer more incentives to international
students. Each year the list of schools that award financial aid to
international students grows - and the top 10 schools all offer
around $50,000 in average award.
The list in 2011/ 2012 was headed up by Yale University who
offered an average award of $53,255, with Skidmore College
coming in second with an average award of $52,967 and in third
place was Harvard University who offered an average award of
$51,865.
